- This book (202 pages, 8 chapters) presents an interdisciplinary intervention into a contemporary debate concerning sexual offence prosecutions brought against young gender non-conforming people for so-called ‘gender identity fraud.' Based on 5 years of research, including Leverhulme Fellowship, it offers a series of objections against prosecutions based both on liberal principles and arguments derived from queer and feminist theories. The book also takes up the ethical challenge of the non-disclosure of gender history and offers a queer counter-judgment to R v McNally, the only case involving a gender non-conforming defendant, so far, to have come before the Court of Appeal.
